I am running Windows 11 Pro, version 24H2 on a PC bought in the UK. I have set the Country or region and Regional format to United Kingdom and English (United Kingdom) but under Windows display language it shows English (United States) and that is the only option available in the drop-down list. (I have also installed Spanish as I occasionally need to use the accented characters.)

Is there some setting I need to change to get access to English (United Kingdom) as the display language?

@simonc8

Have you tried selecting the 3 dots (breadcrumbs) to the right of English (United Kingdom) then select Language Options? Then install the language features.

Thanks for this. In the Language options I saw UK Basic typing was installed but not Language pack. Once that was installed I could select UK under Windows display language. Hooray!!!
